5. Advices

Here are some useful advices for a better use of Dictionary. It's only based on my experience and on the users feedbacks ;)

  • Images: if you want to display images in your definition, it's possible. Be careful not to use too large files. You should think to your users first.

  • Pre-text: to display a pre-text (and/or a post-text) to your glossary, you can override the default.php file in Joomla or, publish a custom HTML module above the main content position of your template.

  • Limitation ?: there are no limitation about the words and definitions you can add in your glossary.

  • 2 different glossaries ?: Unfortunately, it's not possible to display 2 different glossaries on the same website.

  • Text editor: If you're familar with code, I suggest you to work using CodeMirror instead of TimyMCE or any other text editor. Because it's more flexible to stilish your definitions (adding pics, videos, links, etc) but it's not a mandatory at all.
